A big hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've never made a roast before and this turned out GREAT!! It did require more cooking time than the recipe (I used an almost... 4 lb New York Strip roast). I also added just a bit of half-and-half to the gravy (mostly because it wasn't thickening well enough and I had a little warmed cream that I mixed with some cornstarch). Everyone loved both the meat and the gravy. Will make this again!!Read more

Slammin Roast Beef
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have tried many recipes and almost always they require some tweeking. I was worried when I saw that he just used salt and... pepper for the roast thinking it would be too bland. OMG!! This dish was the best roast beef ever. The gravy was to die for. Now if I don't want to make just the roast beef I use the gravy for meatloaf, and other beef recipes. The only thing I would say is that you HAVE to add the roast beef juice to the gravy. If not you will definitely tast the flour from the gravy. I love Big Daddy's show. It is delightful to watch and he makes me laugh. Keep up the good work.Read more

Easy and Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I really love how simple and elegant the dish is! This is a no brainer and the sauce is absolutely fabulous. I will... definitely add this to my "go to" menus if I am stuck for a tasty and easy dinner idea. I did add shallots to the sauce -shallots always add an extra "oomph." Read more

The butcher cut me a piece that was about 2 1/2 lbs. Perfect for my family of 7. Easy, delicious and perfectly cooked!
